1900 Eumeces zarudnyi Nikolskii , Reptiles, amphibies et poissons, recueillis pendant le voyage de Mr. N. A. Zaroudny en 1898 dans la Perse. Annuaire Musée Zoologique de l’Académie Impériale des Sciences de St.-Pétersbourg, 4:375–417, pl. XX.

LECTOTYPE.— ZISP 9339 , from “Urbs Bazman in Kirmano orient.” [ Iran] designated by Taylor (1935).

LOCALITIES.— Feyzabad (see Fig. 20 ); Pirzada (ZMUC R-47130) [see pl. 10, fig. 2 for distribution].

REMARKS.— Boulenger (1889:101) mentioned specimens “from the Helmand ” (one specimen) and “at Shore-kategai in the Badghis ” (one specimen), and one of these should correspond to BMNH 1886.9.21. 91, but Boulenger did not give specific collection numbers. Leviton and Anderson (1970:191) mentioned Eumeces schneiderii from Helmand Basin and northern Afghanistan (north of the Hindu Kush at low elevations) whereas Sindaco and Jeremčenko (2008) did not mention this taxon from Afghanistan.
